InDesign… the final frontier… this blog records humankind’s adventure through the InDesign galaxy. This is Captain Blatner’s log… stardate 49201 (or something like that). Here are some InDesign-related links I feel all InDesign users (and Romulans) should know about:
- Curious about what’s new in InDesign CC 2014.2? Here’s a video by some crazy guy named David.
- In case you missed this article in InDesign Magazine, you can read it here: Five Ways to Box a Paragraph in InDesign
- Many of the fonts at Extensis WebInk are now moving to Typekit (and many are already available for desktop use! You can see the newest-licensed fonts here.)
- This tutorial about creating a fashion magazine in InDesign has a few interesting points to make.
- I can’t quite figure out why someone would want “ultrafluid” line breaks, but… well, it’s a fun experiment!
- Okay, this one has nothing to do with InDesign, but I bet most of you have no idea you can Create a Star Wars Opening Credits Crawl in Photoshop (I certainly didn’t!)
- Another non-InDesign trick, but one that a lot of InDesign users need to know how to do: The best way to mirror an iPad screen to a Macintosh screen.
- Look at this cool huuuuge wall screen that Chana Messer is demonstrating!
- Paralyzed by Perfectionism? You Need the Imperfectionist Manifesto!
- Alan Gilbertson wrote a good piece about rules when typing in Word (but it also applies to InDesign)
- Bob Levine found a funny bug in the new InDesign Welcome Screen. Cute!
- USA Today ran an excellent article about the history of desktop publishing, along with a funny infographic.
- Keith Gilbert shares 10 things you can do with the CC app (several of which you probably don’t know, but should!)
- Mike Rankin shares some important insights into using InDesign master pages for long documents
- Almost every InDesign user is also a Photoshop user… and did you know it’s Photoshop’s 25th anniversary?! Check out this great retrospective from lynda.com.
Enjoy!
